BMW releases new aero accessories for M3 Coupe

BMW releases new aero accessories for M3 Coupe

The 2011 BMW M3 is a fun, sporty car!  It comes with many awesome features that make driving it so great!  BMW has announced that some additional features are available that will make your M3 stand out even more when parked next to a Chicago X3.

The accessories are going to be made from a carbon fiber.  There are several advantages to having car features made from this type of material.  The carbon fiber offers a lower weight than accessories made from steel or other more dense options.  The fibers are ideal in situations where low weight is desired, as in the auto industry, aerospace, and motor sports.  The lower weight allows less drag, helping the auto move as fast as it can.  When you have a car like the 2011 M3, you want it to speed down the open roads as optimally as it can!  Continue Reading…

What the experts are saying about the 2010 BMW 750i xDrive

One of the newest 7 Series Chicago models is a very exciting drive:  the 2010 750i X Drive.  This $85-$100K  cruiser has  many of the luxurious amenities that BMW owners all over the world look for!

Watching the Jetsons after school is one of many memories I have from my childhood.  I’d go my great aunt’s after school until my parents  picked me up and watch it along with other cartoons.  I always thought a car that could fly in the air was so cool!  Well, we still aren’t there yet, but modern technology certainly advances our way of life each and every day.
